The attempt of some speakers to
cast reflection on the honesty and
integrity nf the trnstae hoard Of
the 18th st. Presbyterian church,
in their efforts to better the condi-
tion of the members of the church
will be some day regretted. Those
persons who desired to sell the
church for good sum Of money
were honest in their convictions
and ere long the congregation will
zee the error committed. There is
no man connected with the church
who has done more for the success
of the church than DR.. Shadd,
Aaron Russell, Lee and others.
Although Mr.. John I'll. Smith gave
lot of subterfuge, we would be
willing to state that Mr.. Smith
would accept a commission from
tue sale of the church as quickly as
any body else. Of course some
men 90 with the tide which, no
doubt, was the case of Mr.. Smith.
No one imputed the motives OF Mr..
Smith when he said that he could
get 10000 dollars for the church
for building purposes.

OUR PULPIT.

Editor Cromwell of the ADVOCATE
in his last weeks issue attempted to
excuse himself by saying that he
made an exception in bis article
concerning his criticism on
de6auched ministers. While it is
not our desire to misrepresent
editor Cromwell, we must admit
that his a tack was against the
entire ministerial profession in
this city. We assert without con
trldiction that Mr.. Cromwell
cannot name one minister in this
city who is guilty of immortality,
gambling, drinking beer and
swearing. We are authorized to
state, that, If the AdUocate will
give the names or location of the
numerous ministers he has cbarg-
ed as being unfit for the pulpit,
$40 will he deposited to his cred
it in the Riggs bank, for every
minister named or if he can name
one Respectable minister, guilty
Of what he charges, negotiable
note TO the amount of 500 will
be given him, payable two days
after date.
The colored ministers in this
city will compare as favorably to
any white ministers in this city.
Our pulpit moraly is above the
white any where in the United
States. You can hear of less scan
dals among our best ministers than
among the white. If editor
Cromwell refuses to accept our
proposition, we shall, in our next
Issue, publish the names of every
colored minister In the District OF
OUIuInUla auu uery uILu W name
tue man in our published list
whom he charges with immorali
ty. The public will then see which
is correct the AdUocate or the BEE.

A COWARDLY ASSAULT.

We respectfully call the at
tention of Judge Smell and the Dis
trict commissioners to the assault
of officer Narrower on Mr.. VIM.
Ellis of the Navy Department. Ii
Mr.. Ellis was not doing anything
that would justify any such blow
that he received, officer Harl over
should be removed FROM the Police
force. The way some of these police
men handle respectable colored cit
izens is shameful. Because an Off
Ger has the power to arrest, he has
Lot the authority to break mans
skull. knock his eye out &c. We
understand that Mr.. Ellis did not
do anything that would justify the
cowardly assault made upon him
by officer Narrower. Unless our
citizens enter their protest against
these whole sale abuses practiced
upon them by certain officers Of the
Metropolitan police force, so long
will they continue.

Blaine will be the nominee of the
republican party, while Hill of New
York, will lead the democratic.
The national republican club will
attempt to usurp the power Of the
Central republican committee.
The chairman of the central re
publican committee will not call a
meeting of that committee.
The national republican club has
no authority.
A registration of voters is what
will be demanded.
The Clapp national republican
club will issue the edict.
Let US have peace although the

COLOR PREJUDICE.

There are few white people in
this community who bitterly op.
pose the colored people. This
opposition generally ZONES from
the lowest element of white pen.
pie. High toned and respectable
white people don't stoop to such
low, mean and dirty acts, as to
object to the establishment of a
colored school in a neighborhood
where no one can be eff, cted. We
are sure that the colored trustees
on the school board will oppose
any attempt on the part ofany one
to remove these colored schools.
We cannot believe that Col. Webb
will be a party to any such
request made by these white res
idsna.

THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.

The object of the Knights of
Labor, as we understand it, is for
the mutual protection of it's men,
bers against unjust discrimina-
ton by the Capitalists. When a
man becomes a member of the
organization and agrees to con-
form with it's rules aud regulations
it certainly can not be conspiracy
if such man is expelled, but #
the friends of the order inform
people not to employ such men
to injure their reputation and busl-
ness, it is certainly conspiracy.
In the case of Prof. Krause, We
can only judge by the lestim my
that was brought out against
those who were charged WITH con
splracy, or an attempt to injure
his business. If, as bis honor,
Judge Suell stated it, these men
attempted to injure Mr.. Krause
in his business, it is conspiracy.
If Prof. Krause refused to COM
ply with the laws and rules gov
erning the Musical Assembly he
had a perfect right to resign,
without an attempt to injure his
business On the part of others
There are certain establishments
in this city controlled by men
who claim TO be Knights of Labor,
that discriminate against the col
ored people. Would not these
people have the same right to bov-
colt these establishments? We
don't favor ary organization that
favors one class of cilizens to the
detriment OF another, and no Or
ganization or class of men have
any right to injure a man in his
business and in our opinion judge
Smell should not be condemned
for protecting the rights of a citi-
zen in his personal liberties.

as the National Republican clubs
in duty bound to reconvene that
committee and if he fails to do 80
at the proper time, we can assure
him that four fifths of the mem
bers of that committee will issue
call themselves and reorganlze.
The National Republican Com
mittee will meet in this city, Tues
day December 1st. and order an
election of delegates to the ma
tional republican convention and
we advise all working republicans,
who are members of the Central
Committee, to be on the look out.
Prominent republicans in the city
say that the central committee
alone can desolve it self, and that
no separate republican club has
authority to elect delegates with
out the consent nf said committee.

OUR ADDITION.

We have added to our repoto

will furnish weekly Odd Fellow

nothing but reliable Odd Fellow

of these cabinets has been for

We take great pleasure in writ

nent success of Mrs. Hagan de-
serves: because, heretofore, the
preiudices of men have kept
women out of those employments
demanding business talent and

Mr.. Douglass is somewhat cha

meant no reflection on Mr.. Doug.
lass, we only desired to remind
him OF what was said relative to
Grants election. While we are a
republican, we don't propose to
support men who are inmical to
the colored people simply because
they are the nominees of the re-
publican party. Mr.. Douglass
now says, that since he used the re-
marks concerning Col. Grant, he
has not found a person who knows
when Col. Grant made use of the
remark, that emo Negro should
graduate from West Point while
he was there"
Ofcourse, if Mr.. Douglass is con-
viuced that Col. Grant made no
such assertion he is perfectly JUS
t'hable In supporting him. Mr..
Douglass is a man whom We have
always appreciated and respected.
Shall the colored people contin-
ure to be abused and i'll treated by
men who claim to be republicans
or democrats? We have done every
thing to cvnciliate our enemies;
we have appealed to them to
give US justice and recognition;
and whenever our votes and SER
vices are demanded, the colored
republicans have been first to re-
spond. There is movement on

The large and enthusiast; meeting

Boyce acted as secretary, express

and the demands formulated In
the resolutions adopted at that
meeting should not be insisted up
on as containing nothing but
what is just, and before our sup

without equivoeation, ''yes or nc" +"
I have been met since that meet
ing upon the public streets by
many of our republican friends,
who have all said, "l es your de-
mands are just, and should and
will be acceded TO AFTER the elec-
ton, but don't force our candidates
to answer questions now it might
lnjure them" Now, this is the old
dodge of the politicians, aud we
decline to accept the suggestion,
and trust the committee appointed
at that meeting to call upon our
standard bearers, Messrs. Brooks
and Bartlett, will distinctly pro-
pound to them the resolutions of
tered by Mr.. j. E Bruce, and
which were unanimously adopted
in these words.
"Whereas the colored voters OF
the State of Maryland constltu te

whereas the enjoyment of equal

whereas the platform of the Re

position of that party in the mat

James l.. Johnson, has gone in
